This school district is located in Juneau County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from many county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.
Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in nearly every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards.
Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $48,320 to $52,956. The Wonewoc-Union Center school district average teacher salary the lowest in the county at $48,320. The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was 18% which was below the inflation rate.
The Wonewoc-Union Center school board essentially froze the Superintendent pay since July 2011 with only a 0.4% increase. Leads us to believe that this district may be suffering from some financial issues, likely related to declining enrollment or the defunding of public schools by the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin.
We applaud the school board for doing their best to maintain the value of teacher salaries by awarding pay increases close to the rate of inflation, but we just cannot recommend that young teachers try to build a career in any district with an average teacher salary below $50,000.
We rate the career employment potential for this district as a Dead End job.
